Anxiang Bofu, no, Xingchang Bofu has set up a flowing water seat.

It is said that there are 100 tables set up on the road in front of Anxiangbo's house, and anyone can go to eat, wipe their mouths after eating, and leave without salutation and no one to drive them away.

The people of the capital heard the wind and moved, and the people waiting for the banquet lined up, and from time to time there were people who quarreled for seats. There is no other reason, just because it is Zhang Ning who sets the flowing water seat.

Since Taizu set up the Jinyi Guard, he has never commanded an envoy so close to the people. Don't say anything else, just rush to his identity, you have to rub it, when you are old, you can boast to your children and grandchildren, Lao Tzu has eaten Zhang Ning's banquet.

The cars and horses in front of the Anxiang Bofu are like clouds, the guests of congratulations are dialing one after another, Lao Guan's face is stiff with a smile, and the little guy who is calling is so dumb that his voice is hoarse, Mr. Account remembers that his hands are sour, there is no way, there are too many people.

The stage is set up in the courtyard of the flower hall, the place is a little narrow, the guests are still enthusiastic, many people are commenting on the singing of the play, while looking in the direction of the lobby. They all met Daniel Zhang in the lobby, and then went here with Xiaoxiao to watch the play.

Many people think that if Lao Tzu has such a competitive son, he will definitely set up more than a hundred tables of flowing water seats, and he will definitely not accept gifts from congratulatory guests, and your old boy is too stingy.

Those who are qualified to give gifts and can go to the flower hall to watch the drama and sing tea are certainly not ordinary people. Only civil and military officials above the fourth rank can enter the threshold of the gate of Anxiang Bofu.

Below the fourth grade, you can only give a gift, sit in the concierge for a while, drink a cup of tea, and then say goodbye and leave. Because there were too many people, many people waited for a long time, but they couldn't wait to enter the gatehouse, so they had to stand in front of the gate and finish their drinks, stand for a while, and then leave.

The cooks and servants in the house were busy, but they were busy, and their faces were full of heartfelt smiles. As long as the old man is promoted to a knighthood, they will be happy no matter how busy they are.

The drums were noisy outside, but Zhang Ning's courtyard was clear and quiet, although the sound of strings came in, it did not prevent him from talking to Liu Nian, Gu Chun, Xue Han and others.

Liu Nian and Gu Chun asked for leave to leave the camp again, and Xue Han heard the wind and followed.

Liu Nian is a frequent visitor to the mansion, and has always enjoyed the privilege of entering the mansion without notification, and Zhang Ning has not taken back this privilege. When he and Gu Chun were training sergeants in the sharpshooter battalion, they boasted that this time Gu Chun pestered him to come over.

The three of them saw a crowd of officials dressed in complements in front of the gate and in the gatekeeper, and then saw Liu Nian swaggering through the crowd and entering the gate, Lao Guan not only did not stop him, but came up to salute, and they were all convinced.

With Gu Chun's current official position, he can only stand at the gate and drink a cup of flowers, Xue Han is white, so he can only go to eat the flowing water seat, and now relying on Liu Nian, he actually mixed in.

Liu Nian was triumphant and said, "A-Ning should be in the house, right?" ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Gu Chun guessed: "I didn't see him greet guests." According to the news he received, almost all the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces were dispatched today, and there were many first- and second-rank officers, Daniel Zhang must accompany important guests, and it stands to reason that Zhang Ning should greet guests in front of the door, but when they came in just now, they only saw Lao Guan.

"Definitely." Liu Nian is full of confidence.

Xue Han had already fallen behind, and he didn't dare to speak, but just watched the two of them guess Zhang Ning's whereabouts in awe.

"I said that A-Ning must be in the study, if you don't believe it, let's bet, please have a meal in the drunken fairy building that loses." Liu Nian has never forgotten the Drunken Immortal Building since he ate it once, but he can't tell where the Drunken Immortal Building is good.

"Okay, bet on it." Gu Chun didn't admit defeat at all, and said, "I guess A-Ning must have entered the palace and was not in the mansion." ”

The three of them went to the courtyard where Zhang Ning lived while talking, and when they entered the door, they saw Zhang Ning sitting under the porch with a folding fan in his hand, shaking the fan while drinking sour plum soup with ice.

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Liu Nian was proud. He played with Zhang Ning when he wore open pants, what kind of temper did Zhang Ning have, he wouldn't know? This person is the most annoying thing to be sent to, once he encounters these things, he will definitely hide.

"That's right." Xue Han responded, admiring Liu Nian again, this person is really Zhang Ning's close friend, can you not admire it?

Gu Chun was puzzled and said, "Why is A-Ning here?" ”

Zhang Ning smiled: "You guys quarreled all the way, right?" ”

Liu Nian and Gu Chun were talking very loudly, and he heard them from a long distance. His courtyard is quite far away from the lobby and the flower hall, no matter how lively the lobby is, it can't be transmitted here, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the flower hall is transmitted, but it is very small.

"He doesn't believe you're here." Liu Nian said with a big grin, and sat down under Zhang Ning.

Gu Chun was puzzled and said, "Why are you here?" ”

He thought that he was very familiar with Zhang Ning, and he gradually spoke freely, and besides, Zhang Ning usually seemed to be very talkative, which also made him a little bolder.

"Didn't Ah Nian say it?" Zhang Ning smiled and said, "My father was helpless about my problem, so he had to go with me." "Today is to celebrate his knighthood, Zhang Ning actually wants to be in front of people for a while, but the original master does not like this kind of scene in memory, in order not to show stuffing in front of Daniel Zhang, he has to pretend not to like the lively appearance, alone here in a daze.

Gu Chun and Xue Han were both a little surprised, thinking, fortunately, you just need to make them afraid of you, you don't need to care about their feelings, otherwise you won't offend people?

Liu Nian asked Qing'er to bring sour plum soup and said, "That's why I came over to accompany him." ”

In the past, when there were happy events in the Uncle's Mansion in Fan'an Township, Liu Nian was by Zhang Ning's side, and Zhang Ning must have been hiding.

"And the two of us." Gu Chun said busily.

"Yes, yes, yes, and both of us." Xue Han was not to be outdone.

The three of them accompanied Zhang Ning to talk and drink, but they also had some fun.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhang Ning ordered Qing'er to cook a few good dishes and bring them over, and saw Lao Guan panting and running over: "Son, hurry, hurry, Your Majesty has given you a jade pendant." ”

The emperor gives gifts, no matter what he gives, he has a lot of face.

Before Zhang Ning could move, Xue Han's mouth was open enough to stuff a duck egg.

Gu Chun stood up, eager to rush out now, take the jade pendant given by the emperor, and wear it on his waist.

Liu Nian has urged repeatedly: "Go quickly, don't let the father-in-law in the palace wait for a long time." ”

"Who's coming?" Zhang Ning asked Lao Guan calmly.

"Father-in-law Jia, he said that he also has a thin courtesy." Lao Guan Mei danced. The emperor and the eunuchs all gave gifts, and their son-in-law was big enough.

Zhang Ning got up and walked out, followed by Liu Nian, Gu Chun, and Xue Han like little guys.

Jia Xiaosi had been welcomed to the lobby by Daniel Zhang, and the incense case was also put up, although there were many guests, but the birds were silent, just waiting for the arrival of the main lord and receiving the emperor's gift.

Jia Xiaosi's small body stood straight, talking to Daniel Zhang with a smile on his face, and did not have the arrogance of the emperor's close attendants, and the officials present secretly wondered, this Duke Jia is also too good to talk, right? He's not usually like that.

Daniel Zhang was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, but he kept flattering this little eunuch who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, for fear that he would be impatient.
